After a 30-year career in publishing, Kris Henning and Tom Bartel shed their last publication and their house –- along with most of their possessions. In 2010, they set out to see the world, combining their love of culture with their enthusiasm for the outdoors. Their award-winning travel blog, Travel Past 50, reflects Kris and Tom’s appreciation of international cultures and active travel exploring a range of destinations including historic sites, arts and cultural centers, and natural parks with wildlife. The blog is for those who want to learn, for those who want to participate, and for those who enjoy a good meal and friendly conversation at the end of the day.
